Self-Pollinated Series . . . Besides the cross-pollinated 
seed, which is produced only in small quantities, we also 
supply self-pollinated seed to cover the commercial trade. 
Of the one hundred thousand seedlings which we grow 
annually, 40 to 60 per cent are rogued out, leaving only 
the best for the production of self-pollenized seed which 
we list below.

Delphinium Plants . . . During March and April and 
September and October we are offering strong, young plants, 
in twelve assorted shades, as marked for cross-pollenized 
seed. Transplanted, they will grow rapidly on and bring 
far better results in a shorter time than the old clumps. 
We prefer distribution of young seedlings rather than the 
one- or two-year-old clumps, which very seldom bring 
good results, as they are quite exhausted and it takes a 
year at best ta get them re-established, during which time 
the flowers are not at their best. Young seedlings will pro- 
duce show specimens within four or five months after 
planting and continue blooming for several years. In Cali- 
fornia interior valleys where the climate is too warm, au- 
tumn planting, September and October, is_ preferable. 
Plants having time to establish good root systems during 
winter will bring beautiful spikes in early spring. Cooler 
regions will give good results from both autumn and spring 
plantings, except in heavy, cold soils, where spring plant- 
ing is preferable.
